MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHY, IT IS THE STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE THAT INTERESTS ME PARTICULARLY. MY WORK IS INSPIRED BY DAILY LIFE, AND MY APPROACH IS THAT OF A “LAZY PERSON,” WHO DOES NOT MAKE MUCH EFFORT AND CREATES WITH WHAT IS MOST COMMON OR ALREADY CREATED. I TAKE COMPLETE FREEDOM WITH OBJECTS AND USE THEM AS MATERIALS TO TRANSFORM ORDINARY SCENES AND OBJECTS INTO SOMETHING COMPLEX AND REMARKABLE.
